Not sure what swapping one set of potless chancers for another set is going to help. 6 months ago, perhaps but the training ground has been shut with no food or fuel, council meetings about pulling games, club stopped taking season ticket money etc Under Ken the end really is nigh At least under the new lot we might make it through another season or two. As we stand, we wouldn’t make April fools

ErnestTurnip Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 I'm a bit worried that the longer the prospective buyers take with this the more likely it is that one of our hugely influential protestors/twitterati will realise that you can fit "Fuck The New Owners" into "Fuck The Andersons" and we'll have some absolute preemptive scenes.

Always worth checking that you use washable ink when writing on bedsheets. You can then reuse and recycle them which in turn helps the environment

barrycowdrill Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Hate to say I told you so but I said months ago Ken initially was looking to attract investors / buyers with deep pockets. They never materialised he then got that much abuse & aggro he’s just thought fuck it I’m getting rid. To anyone. Even if they were no better than he at funding the club moving forward have a feeling this won’t be anywhere near the new dawn everyone expects it to be

Tonge moor green jacket Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Not bothered, so long as they're less cunty about it.

The entrenched masses will calm for a while and then when we are still struggling to pay bills etc and don't sign folk the bed sheets will be out again. I can understand folk being frustrated especially those raised on Prem Football but if there is no money there is no money. The folk complaining about bills saying its KA responsibility never batted an eyelid when ED left the HMRC debts that nearly killed us.
Duck Egg Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 So long as they get shot of Parky and can pay their way every month, I'll be happy (ish )

That's a lot of cunts. Including a shit load of professional footballers. In which case, we should be much less concerned about going to the wall. A lower league team of shit quality, decent bloke amateurs.
birch-chorley Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 If this lot really don’t have any money (like Ken) then we will go bust by the end of the month, then you can say ‘I told you so’ if the deal falls through and we are left with Ken (who doesn’t have any money) then we will go bust by the end of the month anyway and the Twitterati will say ‘I told you so’ If a deal goes through this week you’d have to assume that they have enough money to help us at least see the season out
Traf Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Whatever happens, our esteemed local journo won't be in the loop. Takeover in the balance, big relegation 6 pointer local derby on the horizon and he's taking 5 days off. Must have a big decorating job on.

Guest Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Speculating on the means of potential new owners is fun - but somewhat academic when under the existing owner we probably won't see out the end of next week. Like Brexit this has got far too close to comfort. We do not want another case of a botched deal happening on the court steps. This needs sorting far earlier. Seems Ken is deliberately stringing it out, hoping for a miracle....
dazl1212 Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) For me at least, I dont see us staying up this year so restart in league one. Hopefully have enough cash to bring in a few exciting younger players from the lower leagues and mount a challenge for promotion, that would be really good end to the shit we've had to put up.

Tonge moor green jacket Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 All gone very quiet in the media at large. Yet another week virtually over. 6 days until winder. Everybody confident still?
DomRepWanderer Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 I think Ken is playing silly cunts now he knows James is involved, would going into admin be advantageous to him, I don't think so, just sign the papers and fuck off.

We can assume Ken already knew this, no? Doubt he's been surprised by a CH update
